Now we are motoring! two new training titles in one day, first the Combustion and now hot on it's heels the ColdFusion MX 7. Here's the write up folks:

ColdFusion is a powerful platform-independent server-side technology used to create powerful database-driven applications. Built into ColdFusion is an application server which uses the ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML). ColdFusion MX7 can be run on various web servers, and includes a JRUN web server that can be used for development purposes. CFML offers built-in tags and functions so users do not have to have a background in programming in order to use ColdFusion. ColdFusion MX7 provides for customized tags and components making it much easier than other languages to extend and customize the language to fit the needs of any application.

Lyson Inks for Epson R2400

Release of the new ink set for the R2400 from Lyson should be the first week in Dec. After a much extended wait I can say the results from this ink set are amazing, the Dmax on the black ink is first class, and in my opinion is fair better than that of Epson, the colours also seem to have a greater colour gamut.

Profiling as always been an issue for 3rd party inks, and the new inks from Lyson are no exception to this, however without a profile the results are not that far off, I dare say a large number of Ameture photographers will manage quite well without a custom profile. We will just have to wait and see.

Once the inks are released they will appear on www.specialistinks.com first.
